Starfish do not have a brain either. There are several regulars like that in my local.
Does one of them answer to the name of Albrecht?
Nope.
But one of them keeps asking me if I have any bread.

After a lengthy session in the Fool and Bladder last night the Invasion Committee has voted to adopt the principal that the Earth is flat. The main reasons being;
- The surface of water is always flat. If the world were round then water would be curved
- All maps and charts are always flat. If the world was round we would be reading directions off a small globe and not a sheet of paper. (Sat-nav screens would also have to be spherical.)
- Ships can sail from West to East round the circumference of the disc but no one has ever sailed to the bottom and up the other side.
- If the world was a globe it would roll about causing a lot of spilt drinks and confusion.
- If the Earth were a globe, people - except those on the top - would have to be fastened to it to prevent them from falling off.
- If the world was round then the uprights of walls and columns would diverge, or point away, at the tops.
There were a lot of other ‘proofs’ but they were lost in between the third and ninth round and because the quiz had started. We therefore are applying for Group Membership of the Flat Earth Society. Badges, pens, mugs and embroidered Puffa jackets will shortly be available from Durer Enterprises (Merchandising).
The Fog; a place for free thinkers and the intellectual exchange of ideas.
That is odd, isn’t it.
This so like Discworld, maybe Terry Pratchett was right all the time.
I don’t understand. Am I not a member of the Invasion Committee? Why was I not invited to The Fool and Bladder the other night?
Obviously the argument and proof reached was correct. I would have enjoyed arguing with numpties who think the earth might be round. Fools.
But I feel I have missed out on some rounds of gin. (I assume the Fool and Bladder has IOD pub measures? Ie. DC doubles being standard! I don’t want to be fobbed off with a U.K. pub single.)

this is how committees seem to work
This might be “wrong” on many levels but I thought the broom looks like it might have reheat and be the envy of many covens
Mick
… and before it kicks off, or the moderators get called in , I know it is a foggin mop and not a broom with reheat, but being a ‘modern’ free thinking man, with access to a cheese fuelled imagination, I thought I would go for it anyway

That’s generally how things work down at the “The Fool” except that my bucket had a cocktail umbrella in it - not a broom/mop (whatever). I have a vague memory of talking to Sue but whether you were there or not I couldn’t say. I’ll be sending you a bill for your share of the drinks in any case. If anyone else feel that they’ve been left out I’d be only to happy to post you an invoice as well. Happy? Good. Wizard of Ooze.
I can not speak for any other “Foggers” but I am as happy as a pig in muck, I have cheese, yoghurt Google & gin. Send as many invoices as you like, money is a weird social (?) construct. Fortunately we do not have bundles, as long as I can pay my cheese bills I will always be happy.
M
Yoghurt?
Is that like liquid cheese but without the weird dreams?
As with most things dairy, it all depends on the blend, for instance I have just balanced a mozzerella heavy macaroni cheese with a raspberry bio live yoghurt.
I expect plenty of snoring followed by non violent but vivid brain belch type dreams, If I can industrialise the process, I would be honoured if Durer enterprises could add this crap to the East Chem product lines.
M
Send whatever bills you like. I shall file them as appropriate.
Meanwhile, I have had gin, white wine, red wine, and cheese. Nice cheese.
Yoghurt played no part in my birthday dinner. Did I mention it is my birthday? / Was my birthday for people bothering to read this tomorrow?
Cheese on the other hand played a role. As did wine. And a little bit of gin.
It’s been much nicer than a raspberry yoghurt, not that there’s anything intrinsically wrong with fruit flavoured yoghurts.
§ue
Hope you had a brilliant birthday. I think I will raise my gin glass to our special lady of the velcro strap line.
All the best Ssue keep taking the cheese.
Mick
Freudian slip of the ‘A’
kind of works for me either way
Mick
I hope you had a Happy birthday Ssue & didn’t spend the day in your birthday suit!! Cake and candles I insist on them every year… not sure how Mr FB will do at getting 30 on next years… Pls do forward a bill my way it will be filed accordingly! Ps I had to wade through too much today to find this thread and as for the fool and bladder I can never find that place easily X
